Instead of chugging bottled water after your workout, try a reusable BPA-free bottle, such as plastic or stainless steel ones ($14.95-$18.95 plus $3 shipping and handling) from Tappening. Eric Yaverbaum and Mark DiMassimo, the co-founders of Tappening, which aims to promote the use of tap water over bottled, are currently asking the public to vote online in a poll that asks if they are “Greedy Entrepreneurs,” “Selfless Environmentalists” or “Both.”

The Wilson Staff Eco-Carry golf bag ($129.99) allows you to go green on the green (ha!). The fabric is formed from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. One bag is made from the equivalent of 12 plastic gallon bottles.
